My solicitor has informed me that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Chipping Campden?
The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
Are all Chipping Campden Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Chipping Campden on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional fee for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Clydesdale but by your Chipping Campden conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Chipping Campden 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I am purchasing my first flat in Chipping Campden with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Chipping Campden is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Chipping Campden are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chipping Campden you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chipping Campden may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
The conveyancers carrying out our conveyancing in Chipping Campden has forwarded papers to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Surely all properties in Chipping Campden are registered?
It is rare for premises in Chipping Campden not to be registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Chipping Campden conveyancing lawyers should be capable of dealing with this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty reigns the conventional proposition nowadays appears to be for the seller’s conveyancer to register the title first and thereafter deal with the disposal - this will have a domino effect to cause a significant delay.
